Extensive overdubbing and tape processing was conducted for this project, subtitled "a fantasy for electromagnetic tape." Timings are based on the finished album. The Atlantic files show 19716 which is the title of the entire suite.

These sections of the suite are not mentioned in the Atlantic files. See session of 8/10/70 for note on "This Is Combat, I Know."
